Rebirth of an Old Farmer: Escape from Famine with Children and Grandchildren
Chapter 128 Feeling proud
There was such a case in the capital in the past: a daughter-in-law of a family could not bear the domestic violence of her husband for a long time and finally took extreme action to kill him.
However, in order to protect the young and ignorant child from punishment, it was decided that the woman would take the blame and accept the punishment.
In the end, the officials took into account the mother-son relationship and gave her lenient and special treatment.
Therefore, in today's situation, perhaps we can try to explore this way of saving the mother by letting the child take part of the responsibility?
After hearing this, even the eldest brother who had always appeared calm felt a little moved.
While the two sons were still racking their brains for how to save their family, Old Man Liu sneered at first and then became furious. He instantly stood up from the stool, holding the teacup in his hand and threw it hard, hitting the target accurately like a dart flying in the air!
"You two heartless bastards! I've seen through your little schemes a long time ago, haven't I? You're just hoping something bad happens to your second brother so you can get a bigger share of the family fortune, right?"
The sudden rebuke shocked the two brothers so much that they trembled all over and immediately fell to their knees.
"Dad, we definitely didn't think that!"
"I really didn't mean that. Please believe that we are innocent, okay?"
The two of them hurriedly explained themselves, trying to regain the trust and understanding of their elders.
The two brothers felt so aggrieved. Aren’t they just thinking about their family?
In fact, the two have always been trying hard to take care of their family, fearing that any mistake would bring disaster to the family.
But their good intentions were not appreciated as they should have been.
You can't just watch the second child drag the whole family into the abyss, right?
Their younger brother acts impulsively and without considering the consequences, often getting into trouble. This time, the incident was particularly serious and almost dragged the entire family into an irretrievable situation.
If no one steps in to stop it, the entire Liu family might be destroyed.
Liu Lizheng was no longer listening. He was breathing heavily and pointing at them with trembling hands.
"Stop acting in front of me!"
He roared with his eyes wide open in anger, as if he was about to explode.
"Isn't that a little bit of thought clear to me?"
Liu Lizheng asked coldly, his eyes revealing deep dissatisfaction and contempt.
"No matter what, I'm going to save the second brother! I'll figure out a solution myself. Both of you, go to the ancestral hall and reflect on yourselves!"
After saying this, Liu Lizheng's emotions completely got out of control.
He picked up the stick next to him and swung it hard at the two brothers, forcing them to retreat out the door.
Outside the door, Liu Meng's face looked extremely ugly.
His father's attitude just now really made him feel disheartened.
Although I'm used to being ignored, I feel particularly heavy-hearted at this moment.
Suddenly, he sneered.
This smile contains too many complex emotions: anger, sadness and unwillingness.
Liu Yan looked at him doubtfully: "Third brother?"
His tone revealed confusion and a hint of astonishment. He didn't understand why his brother had the leisure to sneer at this moment.
"Brother, you still don't understand?"
Liu Meng turned his head and glanced at his brother with cold eyes.
At that moment, it seemed as if an invisible barrier was placed between the two brothers.
"Father would rather gamble his entire family to save the second son."
Liu Meng continued, "In his eyes, the two of us combined are not even worth a finger of the second brother."
His tone was full of bitterness and self-mockery.
"Even my mother is no exception."
When mentioning this, Liu Meng's voice became even deeper.
It turns out that in the minds of the elders, no matter how great the sacrifices or contributions they make, it cannot change their fate of always being on the periphery.
Liu Meng deliberately sighed, shrugged and said: "I don't care, after all, I am the least favored younger brother. But you are in trouble."
Then he revealed an even more depressing truth.
"If I spend everything for the second brother, the family fortune will most likely be given to him in the future. How embarrassed will my eldest brother be then."
After Liu Meng said this lightly, he stopped talking.
These words touched Liu Yan's heart, making him feel depressed.
Indeed, I have worked hard for my family over the years, but in the end it was just an empty dream.
His face was ashen, he remained silent, turned around and strode towards the ancestral hall.
Every step is taken with extreme determination, but also carries endless pressure and grievances.
Looking at his elder brother's receding figure, Liu Meng showed a sarcastic smile.
Perhaps, in such a situation, only understanding between each other is the most valuable.
At this moment, Darong Village is shrouded in an unprecedented atmosphere of excitement, which is completely new compared to the previous life.
Since Su Xu came back here, the village has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the villagers' mood has also become more cheerful.
The first thing Su Xu did after returning home was to have the small bridge at the entrance of the village widened to three times its original size, turning it into a real bridge across the river.
The originally simple wooden bridge has now become a spacious and sturdy stone bridge, no longer afraid of floods or being crushed by heavy objects.
After the completion of the new bridge, it became extremely convenient for villagers to enter and exit, and even transporting pine nuts to sell was no longer so difficult.
In the past, every time I went out to do business, I had to carefully walk through narrow and dangerous paths, but now I can reach my destination easily.
He also helped pave the road.
A flat and hard stone road is paved from the beginning to the end of the village. It is not only beautiful but also strong and durable, greatly improving everyone's travel conditions.
Building such infrastructure to facilitate travel is simply a good deed.
Although a lot of money and effort were invested, for the villagers these were actions that they should be proud of and grateful for.
Although Su Xu said there was no need to publicize it, the village chief still hurriedly found a stonemason to erect a monument and engraved his name on it, hoping that future generations would remember his kindness.
Without his selfless dedication, there would be no prosperity today.
Now walking on the newly built road, the villagers feel very proud.
Whenever I pass by the monument, I can't help but stop and bow deeply to the words on it to express my respect.
In contrast, the people in the neighboring Xinghua Village are envious and even jealous, and are unwilling to set foot here.
They can only sigh helplessly at all the wonderful changes before their eyes, and wish that they could have such a prosperous and harmonious social environment.
Unfortunately, the only way to Darong Village passes through Xinghua Village. In addition, Su Xu kept delivering supplies, which made the villagers' reactions gradually change from curiosity to jealousy.
Seeing that people elsewhere are living better than at home, the sense of loss in my heart becomes stronger and stronger, and eventually turns into uncontrollable hatred.
It is true that fortune changes over time, and even ordinary farmers have a day to be proud of themselves.
The more shocking news was about the changes in Liu Lizheng's family.
This incident was like a sudden storm that swept through the originally peaceful village.
